Cyberattacks on critical infrastructures: the role of Forensic Sciences in prev...

Morgado, Miguel; Malafaya, Carla; Oliveira, Manuela; Fernandes, Luís; Madureira-Carvalho, Áurea; Azevedo, Rui

Background: Critical infrastructures (e.g., national security, energy systems, transport systems/supply chain, health, and telecommunications) (fig. 1) have been the target of constant cyber-attacks that debilitate the population's sense of security and have had profound economic, social, and public safety impacts [1,2]. Also, cyber-physical systems in smart cities face complex challenges that require robust cy...

The Threat of Danger: Decadence and Virtù

Morgado, Miguel

Decadence and the protection of civilization are recurring themes in Raymond Aron’s thought. In particular, at the end of his career Aron reflected on the condition of the Western world and on the meaning of the word “decadence”. In this regard, Aron found Machiavelli’s work to be immensely helpful, to the point of equating decadence with the lack of what Machiavelli named virtù, or “historical vitality”. This ...

Retinal imaging in animal models: searching for biomarkers of neurodegeneration

Batista, Ana; Guimarães, Pedro; Serranho, Pedro; Nunes, Ana; Martins, João; Moreira, Paula I.; Ambrósio, António F.; Morgado, Miguel

There is a pressing need for novel diagnostic and progression biomarkers of neurodegeneration. However, the inability to determine disease duration and stage in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) hinders their discovery. Because animal models of disease allow us to circumvent some of these limitations, they have proven to be of paramount importance in clinical research. Due to the clear optics of the eye, t...


Time-dependent elastic numerical model for Optical Coherence Elastography of th...

Correia, Carlos; Batista, Ana; Barbeiro, Sílvia; Cardoso, João; Domingues, José Paulo; Henriques, Rafael; Loureiro, Custódio; Santos, Mário J.

We present the initial stages of development of a Finite Element Method-based time-dependent elastic numerical model which seeks to support the employment of our Optical Coherence Elastography system for assessing murine retinal elasticity. The current model is able to reconstruct displacement maps in both homogeneous and heterogeneous domains with errors up to a few hundredths relatively to a known exact displ...


Phase-Resolved Optical Coherence Elastography: An Insight into Tissue Displacem...

Batista, Ana; Serranho, Pedro; Santos, Mário; Correia, Carlos; Domingues, José P.; Loureiro, Custódio; Cardoso, João Manuel; Barbeiro, Sílvia

Robust methods to compute tissue displacements in optical coherence elastography (OCE) data are paramount, as they play a significant role in the accuracy of tissue elastic properties estimation. In this study, the accuracy of different phase estimators was evaluated on simulated OCE data, where the displacements can be accurately set, and on real data. Displacement (∆d) estimates were computed from (i) the ori...


Effectiveness of exercise training on cancer-related fatigue in colorectal canc...

Machado, Pedro; Morgado, Miguel; Raposo, João; Mendes, Marco; Silva, Cândida G.; Morais, Nuno

Purpose: To investigate the effects of exercise training on cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in colorectal cancer survivors. Methods: Randomized controlled trials published between 1 January 2010 and 19 October 2020, selected through online search conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus and PEDro databases, were included. Eligible trials compared the effect of exercise training interventions, versu...

A mathematical model for the corneal transparency problem

Araújo, Adérito; Barbeiro, Sílvia Alexandra Alves; Bernardes, Rui Manuel Dias Cortesão dos Santos; Morgado, Miguel; Sakić, Sunčica

Understanding the physical basis of corneal transparency has been a subject of interest amongst physicists, basic scientists and ophthalmologists. Impairment of corneal clarity is a significant cause of visual morbidity worldwide. Thus, it is essential to understand the mechanisms behind corneal transparency and how the alterations due to corneal pathologies affect vision. We use Maxwell’s equations to model li...

Image quality of compressive single-pixel imaging using different Hadamard orde...

Vaz, Pedro G.; Amaral, Daniela; Ferreira, L. F. Requicha; Morgado, Miguel; Cardoso, João

Single-pixel imaging is an imaging technique that has recently attracted a lot of attention from several areas. This paper presents a study on the influence of the Hadamard basis ordering on the image reconstruction quality, using simulation and experimental methods. During this work, five different orderings, Natural, Walsh, Cake-cutting, High Frequency and Random orders, along with two different reconstructio...
